Windows 10: switching from windows 10 home to windows 10 pro. do we need product key again?

Hey, microsoft


I bought a gaming laptop 2 months ago. it was already activated, the os was windows 10 home. i was planning to switch from windows 10 home to windows 10 pro. The question is, do we need product key again? I mean i already have windows 10 home product key. if changing to windows 10 pro is the previous activated product key going to work? or do we have to buy a new product key for windows 10 pro

:)

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

I just did a deployment last night with a fresh 10 install using the newest ISO and a 7 Pro key, worked like a charm. Glad yours worked for you as well. *Toast :toast:

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
